Where The Law Ends: The Social Control Of Corporate Behavior (By Christopher D. Stone), Dale A. Normington

University of Dayton Law Review

There has been a growing concern recently that many of society's ills are a result of a lack of social responsibility on the part of America's business corporations. The corporation is portrayed as acting without regard for the public welfare or the morality of its decision. Pollution, lack of product safety, bribery, political intrigue, financial frauds, energy abuses and even inflation are among the charges leveled against corporations. If the corporation is made more "socially responsible," it is argued, its impact on the "quality of life" will be positive and beneficial. The advocates of corporate responsibility have proposed many solutions …

Criminal Consumer Fraud: A Victim-Oriented Analysis, Donald P. Rothschild, Bruce C. Throne

Michigan Law Review

The poor and the elderly are the principal victims of the high pressure and often sophisticated sale techniques of criminal consumer fraud in this country. The problem is compounded when the poor and the elderly live in inner cities where legal assistance is costly and inadequate, and the courts, prosecutors, and investigators are overburdened.

Control Of Securities Selling, Watson Washburn

Michigan Law Review

President Roosevelt in his inaugural address stated as one of the most important immediate necessities of the country "a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments." This statement is in line with his campaign criticism of the failure of the Republican national administration to check the inordinate inflation of security prices in 1929. There is no doubt that the President's program in this respect received a sympathetic hearing throughout the country.
